I feel for you painful state of being beautiful lady..

your muse will return to you don't lose hope..

great expression of feelings..

love Crim

as a surrogate in the meantime use your inner child ...or the other poets to inspire as i do...:)

Muses need sleep too. Sometimes you need to seduce them out of their slumber. Write her a sexy love song and tickle her fancy. I think I just wrote a poem about seducing the muse. If she doesn't feel like getting up, bring her breakfast in bed and give her something yummy to eat...
Entice her with some real home cookin'!

This is a very familiar feeling ...
When she comes back tell her visit me too
:(

just when you think you're out, they drag you back in.
well done...

I know! It's simple for me personally to put down my vice... But regardless writing is sooooo different when you spend a month sober. The connections with your inner self have to be forged from new directions. I still wrote without bud or wine. It was just different. I was different.

It's too easy to escape and then get inspiration from that escape. When you're really entrenched in your reality and all the intricate intrigues and subtle nuances, the pains and their colors, the victories and the feelings then inspiration comes from inner space and you don't need to escape anymore.

Questions are spinning in my head as to the source of the departure of "The Muse", but then further along it becomes clearer. Nice job on priming me for the conclusion.
